Winter Tire Thread (was: GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ New Jersey Devils - 7:00pm ET - TUE. Feb. 1, 2011)

The Ottawa Senators (17-25-8, 42 pts) visit the New Jersey Devils (16-30-3, 35 pts) Tuesday night. The Devils have been playing better, of late, going 6-3-1 in their last tem, while the Sens are 1-6-3 in that same period. At that rate, another 10 games would see the Sens overtake the Devils for that last-overall spot and a guaranteed top-three pick at the draft. But it won’t be easy, as the Oilers and Islanders (both sporting a 2-7-1 record in their last 10) are not going to give up with a fight.

Latest updates:
Colin Greening and Robin Lehner were recalled yesterday from Bingo. The AHL All Star Break means no regular season games are scheduled, so don’t think Lehner is up here to do anything more than collect a bigger paycheck and at least practice with the big dogs. Looking forward to seeing what Greening can do.
The Devils have also recalled 4 AHLers: Mark Fraser, Vladimir Zharkov, Nick Palmieri and Mattias Tedenby.

Apparently Spezza is aiming to return Saturday against the Isles. Tank bus gets a flat.

The "Ottawa New Jersey Devils"? What?

Hey, I only have one "template" that happens to be with the Sens being the home team. Sometimes you cut too much, sometimes not enough.

Geeze, what happened to before, when people would give you rep points for starting a GDT. I get no respect, I tell ya.

Great GDT Prags!

Nice work!

Thank you gentlemen ... and Shabbs.

Winchester out due to personal reasons, Sens will use 7 D.

And yet, the typo remains...

Lehner was in the "home" net... so look for him to start...

Mendes confirms Lehner to start...

Lehner!

Huge game for us. NJ could pull within 5 points with the win.

I'm hoping for a 1-0 loss with Lehner making 50+ saves!
